From the Inside Flap:

Christmas is going to be a little different this year. It is late on Christmas Eve when Dad hears a mysterious growling. Approaching at high velocity, eight enormous dinosaurs, including Splinter, Smasher, Cracker, and the meanest T-Rex of all, are about to crash Dad's jolly night. And these prehistoric creatures aren't delivering gifts.
Squeezing down the chimney to steal presents and make off with Christmas dinner, the beasts threaten to ruin this year's holiday. What is Dad to do?
In a series of hilarious and unexpected events, Dad, with help from Santa Claus, hatches a plan to stop the beasts, protect the presents, and save Christmas.
Inspired by Clement Moore's classic 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and illustrated with detailed, humorous art from the widely celebrated Jim Harris, this holiday tale provides festive fun with a reptilian twist for adults and children alike.
